Hi,
How can I change the post to facebook to show the avatar of the person who asked the question rather than a pencil?

Cheers

Derek
Hello Derek,

Sorry, what do you mean post to facebook? Is it autopost or share to facebook? There is no setting to change the image unless you hack the php file.

Hello Derek,

Please replace the attached file:

facebook.php in ..\components\com_easyblog\classes\facebook.php
helper.php in ..\components\com_easyblog\classes\facebook\helper.php

If it is not working, you can provide us your backend, FTP and Facebook access so we can apply it for you.

Hello Derek,

Sorry, I've misunderstood you. Can you provide us your backend, FTP and Facebook access so we can apply it for you.

Why do you need my facebook credentials? Can supply the rest but handing over a facebook password is a big thing to ask!

Hello Derek,

It is because we might need to do test post and let it autopost to your facebook. We need facebook account so we can delete the test post. It is ok if you can't provide it but can you give your backend and FTP access?

Great going! All we need now is autoposting of responses and we are away!

Hello Derek,

Don't forget to backup this file: ..\components\com_easydiscuss\classes\facebook\helper.php when updating Easydiscuss in the future. We will discuss with our developer about the response autoposting and see how it goes. Thanks!
